You’ll never buy store bought yogurt after making your own! :D

■  1/2 gallon milk
■  1 cup plain yogurt with active cultures
■  1/2 cup powdered milk

Pour milk into Crock Pot. Cover, turn on high and let the milk heat 2 1/2 hours about 180 degrees. Turn the Crock Pot off. Take the lid of and let cool back down to 110 degrees. Stir in 2 Tablespoons of plain yogurt. Stir in powdered milk. Put lid back on, wrap entire Crock Pot with a beach or bath towel and set away for 8-12 hours – You can leave on counter or stick in oven. Remember to save some of this in 1 cup portions (of this first batch that has been cultured from store bought yogurt) for your next batch!

Mix in fresh fruit – strawberries, mixed berries, peaches, etc. Also, top with granola, maple syrup or honey, mmmmm, YUM!

Keep yogurt in jars or favorite containers ( I like canning jars) Keeps 7 – 10 days in fridge.
